In Naruto: Reborn with Talent

Chapter 51 - Ch51. Tsunade And Mei Meeting



Rei, Konan, and Tsunade sat around the table in Rei's apartment, waiting for Mei to come from the academy.

"Was it smart to reveal your medical ninjutsu?" Rei asked Tsunade, not really caring. ​​

Tsunade shrugged with a slight smile. She was in her young, normal form without any transformation. Konan told her that she trusts this Mei person so she would too. The entire apartment was filled with privacy seals no ninja in Kiri would be able to bypass so it was safe.

"I revealed my ability to use it. Not the extent. My chakra is looking like a low chunin level thanks to your hiding technique too. As long as I don't use anything too advanced, I will be fine. I did it mostly so I can protect myself if I am ever attacked. We wouldn't want a complete civilian defeating ninja, now, would we?" Tsunade chuckled and took Rei's hand into hers, playing with his fingers with a slight self-indulgent smile.

"Fair enough, Tsu." Rei nodded, making Tsunade blush at the affectionate nickname.

"I also wouldn't want to freeload..." She trailed off only to have her shoulder swatted by Konan.

"You are one of us. Just accept it." Konan reproachfully stated, making Tsunade lower her head, showing her understanding and Konan pecked her cheek for that.

"Good girl."

Tsunade internally squealed. It was so embarrassing! She was the strongest kunoichi of Konoha! And here, she was being verbally juggled by two kids younger than her! But... she wanted to feel Rei's and Konan's affection. She wanted them to tease her. She... oh.

Tsunade abruptly raised her head in a realization as she stared at Rei and Konan in utter shock at the idea of her having these feelings. Not once in her life did she actually feel like this.

"Hm?" Konan tilted her head when she noticed Tsunade's state and distraught.

"I love you." Tsunade blurted out. "Damn, I love you..." She blinked, not really knowing how to react. "I..."

Rei put his finger on her lips with a smirk, silencing her. Tsunade looked at him and her eyes morphed into acceptance. Wanting to be near them and outright loving them without even knowing why... that was a very big jump and it would need a long time for Tsunade to fully accept it. But for now, she wouldn't deceive herself. Her lips stretched into a gentle bashful smile.

Seeing it, Rei leaned forward and fully kissed Tsunade on her lips, startling her. Her hands quickly shot to Rei's shoulders but she didn't...want...to...push. Her hands became powerless as they laid on his shoulders while he played with her tongue and Tsunade just gave in. Her arms snaked around Rei's mouth and pulled him closer. Rei's hands took hold of Tsunade's cheeks and the two made out for minutes while Konan watched with an amused smile. She supported her chin with her hands, elbows on the table as she enjoyed the happy tingling on her lips. She could feel the sweet taste of Tsunade on them as well as the familiar taste of Rei and it was a very... peculiar feeling. She was only a bit rueful that it was such a delicate feeling she barely perceived it.

Rei and Tsunade separated as Tsunade had a bright satisfied face with a dreamy smile.

"That was... nice." She giggled with a content sigh. It was the first real kiss she received.

"Glad to hear that, Tsu." Rei chuckled and licked his lips. "You are sweet."

Tsunade gulped at that simple compliment. She couldn't help but feel herself getting hot as her mouth filled with saliva and her eyes intently stared at Rei. She bit her lower lip to not blurt out the first thing on her mind.

"Cute too." Konan snickered, making Tsunade blush even more, her face now nearing scarlet.

"Moooo~!" Tsunade let out a whiny sound and averted her eyes to the side as she pouted while petulantly crossing her arms on her chest and sullenly sniffing.

Konan and Rei secretly high-fived under the table with smug smirks as they exchanged subtle knowing looks.

"I am just a little sorry that you will have to wear that transformation technique." Rei refocused on Tsunade and sighed, making Tsunade gently shake her head.

"No. It's alright. Using it to appear old while I am young is much better than using it to appear young when you are actually old."

Both Konan and Rei smiled at her. They had to admit she had a point. It must have been hell to travel the Land of Water with a body nearing two centuries of age.

"Well, after I finished the seal for our bond stabilization, you will be able to spend time in our dimension." Rei said and Tsunade perked up. She really loved the nature energy-filled place. It felt oddly calming to her. Her Senju senses were all tingling!

Just then the door opened and in walked Mei. She ran and embraced Rei while greeting Konan but her eyes stopped at Tsunade. Both stared at each other quietly and Rei was getting awkward as the atmosphere was getting heavier and heavier. The sparks could be almost seen flying between them.

"Hi." They both exclaimed at once.

Mei looked at Konan, her expression openly asking who the blond woman was. She knew she would probably get someone to look after her when Konan and Rei were away. Even Konan told her as much and they expected it to be some Kiri-diehard-loyalist aka dipshit so she was getting mentally ready for it.

"She is Tsuna Yotsuba. Rei's second wife." Konan playfully quipped with a devilish smile and Rei froze. He could feel Mei's hold around his waist getting tighter and tighter as Mei's head snapped to Tsunade and her look was getting stormier and stormier by the second. She was visibly pouting as she glared at Tsunade who enjoyed the spectacle immensely and taunted Mei with a winning smile. The girl was adorable, indeed. She felt they would get along smashingly.

"Don't tease her, Konan." Rei ruffled Mei's hair with twitching lips and stood up as he tried to restrain himself from grinning. "I am going to cook something up."

He was about to step through the door into the kitchen when he heard Mei stomp her foot on the floor with a huff. He turned around and saw Mei intently looking at him, one hand pointing her index finger directly at him while the other was pressed on her hip as she gnashed her teeth at him.

"I will become your wife too! Count on it!" Mei loudly exclaimed with a determined look as both Tsunade and Konan snickered into their palms.

Rei knew that look! It was the horrible, horrible look of a woman that made her mind and won't budge! He better ran to the kitchen after he gave her a helpless shrug! He was only glad there was no 'dattebayo' in that statement!

He would let the girls talk among themselves and get to know each other. Especially Tsunade and Mei as these two would spend a lot of time with each other. He only hoped Tsunade would be a better idol for her than Konan. One Konan-like person was enough in his life. He really didn't crave more of THAT personality.

And who knows, maybe Tsunade would talk Mei out of it? ... He thought.

Oh, he had no idea how far from the truth that was! Tsunade would be a very 'positive' influence, alright!
